Posted November 6, 2015byschmidttexashunting-admin

Going quail hunting can be an incredibly fun and rewarding experience, especially when you plan a trip here in Texas. Of course, every quail hunter wants to have a successful trip, and it can be frustrating when you return home without hitting a single quail. That’s why we’re here to provide you with a few tips that can improve your experience.

One of the most important things you need to keep in mind is that quails can be difficult to find. Because of this, you should come prepared with a hunting dog. Bringing along a dog will help you more easily locate a group of quails, and the more dogs the better. With several dogs in your hunting group you should have no problem tracking down a quail in no time.

Selecting the right type of gun is also an important step in the quail hunting process. In general, you should use either a 410 or 12 gauge shotgun. Not only are they fairly accurate as far as shotguns are concerned, but these gauges offer incredible power. As long as you line up your shot correctly, you should have no trouble taking a quail down.

Having a dog by your side isn’t a guarantee you will find any quail. You also need to pay attention to any tracks, stay as quiet as possible, and study quail flight patterns. By following these steps you will be better prepared to track and locate quail.

Take advantage of these tips and you can expect to have a great time during your next Texas quail hunting trip!
